Q46 How does a straight-line production possibilities boundary differ from a concave boundary? a. The straight-line boundary does not show scarcity, whereas the concave boundary does. b. The concave boundary illustrates constant opportunity costs, whereas the straight-line boundary illustrates decreasing opportunity costs. c. The straight-line boundary shows opportunity cost, whereas the concave boundary does not. d. A straight-line boundary is associated with a command economy, whereas a concave boundary is associated with a free-market economy. e.

For both goods, assume output per hour remains constant as the number of workers allocated to that good changes. Wakanda produces both vibranium and adamantium. With vibranium on the vertical axis and adamantium on the horizontal what happens to the PPF if workers become more productive in producing vibranium but adamantium productivity does not change? Group of answer choices A.The PPF becomes steeper. B.The PPF becomes flatter. C.The PPF shifts out, with the new PPF parallel to the initial PPF. D.The PPF shifts out, but we do not know how the slope of the new PPF compares to the slope of the original PPF. E.The effect on the PPF need not be any of the above.

2. Consider a simple exchange economy with two people: Bob and Jake. Bob and Jake both have ten hours of time available. They can use their time to do one of two things: make pancakes or make hamburgers. Bob can make two hamburgers in an hour or one pancake in an hour. Jake can make three pancakes in an hour or four hamburgers in an hour. a.) Draw Bob and Jake’s PPFs with hamburgers on the x-axis. Give equations for both PPFs in y=mx+b form. b.) Can Bob and Jake both benefit from trade if the terms of trade are three pancakes per hamburger? Why or why not?
Jade has midterms in economics and astronomy tomorrow and only has four hours left to study. The accompanying table provides the combinations of time spent studying economics and astronomy and her expected exam scores. a.
